We went to see Dogs in a Pile on a weekday. Nothing like seeing a show where the space was built to be a concert venue! The sound was pretty good, great airflow, the stage and lighting were immaculate. Clearly a lot of money went into building out the space and I'd say they did a pretty good job.Parking: 12 hour parking on both sides of the street.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs in sight.

Not bad at all. Not 5-star dining, but why would you expect that ar a glorified bar. Games and activities for your kids if hitting it in the afternoon. Good food and drink. Casual, laid back atmo.

Showed up on a Saturday night to enjoy some beers and wings with some friends. We were denied service due to our Oregon IDs being “fake”. They weren’t able to scan the IDs to check their validity because they don’t have a scanner which seemed odd in my opinion. I am 23 years of age and a senior in college and have frequently visited bars in downtown SLO. I asked to speak to a manager, who evidently wasn’t on the premises or on call. I was given a number to call, however no answer after 4 phone calls. Very poor customer service and improper protocols. Would not recommend this place if you’re looking for a good night out with friends.

Nice open beer and wine bar with good "bar" food. Order at the counter and bring it to your table. Sometimes meat events and hard liquor from the distillery section in a somewhat separate room.

The food was fantastic! Best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The restaurant side service is walk up, which, given the open air environment make sense... just adjust your expectations accordingly. I also didn't like the self bussing aspect...again practical but didn't sit right with me since the restaurant itself didn't feel "fast food"-esque. The bar side is very cozy and seems like a great date spot.
Food is very pricey, especially having to wait in line (in the clothing/merch section) to order. The layout needs improvement. Otherwise, it's a fun spot to hang. Great live music performances.

I love buying their liquor, but I was underwhelmed by their food. It was nothing special, and the quantities were small. I could get far more and better tasting food at a more traditional pub.

Great food, great beer, cool location. Came here for a friend's birthday party. Had never heard of this place. Was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was and the selection of beers.

Relaxing atmosphere, good place for family with outdoor grass area, mixed drinks and beer!

The atmosphere is great for groups with outdoor seating and live music. I highly recommend visiting the whisky tasting room as well. Rod & Hammers is all around a great place to visit with friends.
